I went hiking a couple of times this summer, and you see can still see this from time to time. Not as common as they used to be 5 years ago but they’re still there. Although this summer I only saw them with old ladies, which makes sense to me. They should help with balance.

The funniest **** for me though is all the people gearing up in their serious outdoor gear. Like they’ll be wearing the sturdiest hiking boots, fjällräven gear all over. For a hike of 5 km on a gravel path through the woods. Dude, you’re not even in the woods! My 5 year old walked this path in flip flops while holding a barbie doll.

I agree it will help with balance for the elderly but it does look excess baggage to the younger more abled hikers

That's a little too much for sure but maybe outdoor gear is their equivalent to our leather jackets. I'm sure it is all for documentation purposes as they say it didn't happen if there's no photo/video lol.[/QUOTE]

I think you’re absolutely right. There can be several reasons to want to get in full outdoor gear. I just find it funny cause for me that is strictly utilitarian clothing. I realise other people see it differently. I do have a full fjällräven outfit as well, but for me I reserve it for longer hiking trips when I’m planning on spending a couple of nights outside.

I like the reading material for the WC. Good stuff with the Lightning magazine there.

I like the jacket, short lenght which i love and you wear it well with those jeans.

Haha, didn’t think about that before posting. Frost for the kids, lightning magazine for me!

It’s a short one for sure, 55 cm or 21.65 inches! Wrangler both top and bottom today, I also like how it pairs with the jeans, thanks! I’m waiting on a 5* leather version of this jacket to arrive, currently in Germany, I’m hoping it fits as well as this one!

Finally got a Wrangler trucker that fit! This is a 42 and I have a 39 inch chest and I could probably squeeze myself into a size 40 but I’m glad I got this one.

Apologies for the ****py pic, but at least the bathroom mirror is clean!

Looks great. Preferred trucker fit as far as I am concerned. And right on about the A-2. I honestly can't tell if it's good or bad, they all look same to me. XD

fjällräven is like a nicer and more expensive version of the north face right? It's just cool to see those kind of specialized gears but it looks out of place sometimes lol

On another note, I really like that wrangler trucker you have. Also curious to know when will you receive your 5* version of it!?
